Tygon® HA-1000
Tubing for alcoholic and acidic beverages
Chemical resistant tubing for food and beverage dispensing
Tygon® HA-1000 tubing is designed specifically for food and beverage applications involving high alcohol and high acidic content. With outstanding chemical resistance to high alcohol, high acidity media, the tubing is the ideal choice for room temperature and chilled media transfer. Lightweight and smooth, Tygon® HA-1000 has a non-porous bore to inhibit particle entrapment and resists staining better than most soft plastics. The tubing has outstanding resistance to harsh alkaline cleaners and is unaffected by commonly used sanitizers. The relative chemical resistance properties chart below highlights that the tubing is virtually unaffected by acids, bases, salts and alcohols.
Flexible and translucent
Tygon® HA-1000 tubing is flexible, making it easy to maneuver within the food and beverage dispensing equipment. Easy to install, versatile with fittings and connectors. The tubing is also translucent, allowing for easy visual inspection and fluid monitoring. Tygon® HA-1000 does not contain plasticizers or DEHP, eliminating fluid contamination as well as premature brittleness and cracking, commonly seen with many other flexible tubing.
Environmentally friendly
Tygon® HA-1000 chemical resistant tubing is environmentally friendly and can be disposed safely. When properly incinerated, it does not release hazardous and corrosive hydrochloride gas, which has been proven to be a contributing factor of acid rain.
